@CarlosdelRio7 @cvspharmacy @michaelmina_lab I’ve thought this about 100 times in the last week. Why haven’t we learned to plan ahead better at this point… I blame burnout

Great news: Our clinical trial shows #COVID19 convalescent plasma works to reduce hospitalizations by 54% when given within 9 days of symptoms.

Our findings are posted on @MedRxiv (https://t.co/w9r055SibW).

Would you be ok w/ intermittent Ambisome (TIW) for treatment of C. Glabrata liver abscess to allow for hospital discharge? If so, what dose and why? @DHpharmd @Darcy_ID_doc @rgd_ucsd @AnnieC_ID_MD @DrLucyEHorton @lilhigal @UCSD_IDFellows @JL_IDpharm @IDstewardship

I’ve been off Twitter for a while so ya’ll might be discussing these things. But lots of good discussion points in here. What is the goal? https://t.co/xNtJe5QHVX

@lilhigal @Darcy_ID_doc @AnnieC_ID_MD @kerlands @MonicaGandhi9 @DrBobOwens @SaraGianella I’m waiting to see the data. And the mandates should weigh the risk/benefit profile in this population

@dremilyportermd Terrible for not going with her to help her if she has a reaction. Like wow.

[Shantegravir @BalcombeShannon]

@dremilyportermd Wow can’t move past the part about how terrible her family is! This pandemic has really brought out the ugliness in us

@Darcy_ID_doc @KatieRi83948815 Phew! Oh wait… now he wants the IV after all 🤦‍♀️ #classic #neveradullmoment

@saltylungs There are literally studies of keeping people awake and even walking around the ICU on the vent. Clearly not someone who has worked in an ICU (or even walked through one) in the last 10 years

If this virus is expected to be endemic, when do we end the disruptive policy of 2 week quarantines for positive cases? Is anyone tackling this question? Asking for a friend with two little kids in school https://t.co/rSWYaqkDNB

@Keefito33 @KnoppRyan The ethical dilemma is real

[Shantegravir @BalcombeShannon]

@littlewhitty These are reputable profession for what they do but believing all sorts of lies based on half-truths… unfortunately a lot of the public doesn’t realize this

[Shantegravir @BalcombeShannon]

@littlewhitty Making therapy decisions isn’t actually their wheelhouse.Critically evaluating the evidence isn’t something they have to do for their day to day role. Kinda like the Chiropractor “doctors” all over social media spreading misinformation.

[Shantegravir @BalcombeShannon]

@littlewhitty Huge respect for nurses for what they do. But at the end of the day, they are not trained in the role of critically evaluating the literature for treatment because that’s not their role. Prescribing is the role of the provider
